Buttcoin purse posted:IndyCar manages with one guy per corner, plus a few extras: IndyCar also fuels during pit stops. And yes, there are many fewer people over the wall than in an F1 pit lane. On the other side of the equation, in F1 they’re now changing tires in ~3 seconds. The sport is unlikely to decide it wants to go back to slower pit stops, either by limiting the number of people that can work on the car, the number of wheel guns each team is allowed to use, or by switching from centerlocking wheels to individual lug nuts (all approaches other series have used to slow pit stops). It’s antithetical to what F1 is supposed to be about. Also, Ferrari doesn’t use a jack man with a lollipop to tel the driver to go. It introduced system a few years ago that lights up green when all four wheel hubs detect that they’re in contact with their wheels. In this case, it went green when three wheels had been changed and the fourth was still the old wheel that hadn’t been removed. Yes, it’s a horrible cockup, and someone got their leg broke. That’s why the team was fined $61,000 for an unsafe pit stop. But motorsport is never going to be completely safe, and while this incident is regrettable, it’s also very rare. drgitlin fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Apr 10, 2018 |

In 2013, The Joint Commission, the main accreditor of American hospitals, issued an urgent directive calling on hospitals to improve alarm safety. The ECRI Institute, a nonprofit consulting organization that monitors data on medical errors, has listed alarm-related problems as the top technology hazard in healthcare in each of the last four years.

Buff Skeleton posted:Oh no doubt, but how many alarms are even in a dumptruck? My guess: the guy is tired and not checking his mirrors. Every big truck I've driven has 2 sets of mirrors, one parabolic so that you can see your blind spots. What fills your vision on the top mirror is the body of the bed. You use it to line up whomever is behind you and when backing. You'd notice it if the bed wasn't there. You check your mirrors every few seconds as you're driving as you can't trust anyone around you. He probably bumped the hydraulics when he was reaching for his smokes and didn't notice. After that, it was all she wrote. I've never heard an alarm when raising a lift bed, but everything I've driven was made prior to the '60s. (grew up on a farm, old equipment). I bet you there's a light, but no buzzer.

Is there a case where a dumptruck wants to have the bed at an angle and have the transmission not in 1st or reverse? Can it be a case where future trucks either lock out the option or disengage the hydraulics when put in 3rd gear or higher?

Bounce back is no goddamn joke. I've seen a tree get felled, hit a rock in the middle of a bush and then do nearly a complete flip and end up about 50 meters away from the stump.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:[gnarly tree injury] I broke my face once getting hit by something far less large. Just had a sense-memory of that. Actually, OSHA content-post time! I broke my face taking an overloaded bag of trash out to the large dumpster behind my apartment building. One of my hands was barely functional due to a boxing injury, and I couldn't quite haul the bag up into the dumpster with one hand while also holding the lid up. SHOCK! Brilliant idea! I'll toss the lid upward, reach down, and use both hands to toss the bag in before the lid slams! What could go wrong? Failing to take into account the shape of the lid and the force required to flip it open, I launched the lid into the air, reached down to grab the trash... ...and came to about 15 seconds later, hands on my knees, blood pouring from my face, surrounded by trash. Apparently, the lid had bounced off the back of the dumpster and flown back at a high rate of speed, where it collided directly between my glasses and my teeth, smashing my nose into the middle of my skull. I'm disappointed no one got it on video, because it had to have been hilarious. I couldn't feel anything from my lower eyelids to my upper lip and across my face from cheekbone to cheekbone, but I felt okay because the expensive stuff was unbroken. Oh, and I had to pick up most of a bag's worth of trash because I'd managed to get the bag halfway in before the lid bisected it like a factory worker who doesn't know how to LOTO. My septum is slightly deviated now, but cosmetically my nose looks fine unless the light hits it at just the right angle. Had a real motherfucker of a concussion, though, and my doctor kept asking me to be on the lookout for cerebrospinal fluid in the event of a basal skull fracture. ("What, like Dale Earnhardt? How the hell would I know? Clear fluid? LIKE SNOT?") It could have been worse. I nearly put my eye out with a bathrobe once. That was definitely worse.

Enourmo posted:E: Make it so that the alarm sounds anytime the bed's up and the truck's going faster than say 10 mph. Lets you maneuver around yards and such but still warns you when you actually try and drive somewhere. Here in Quebec, they are actually passing a bill with a new law that would make trucks with beds need to have a aural+visual indicator for when the bed's up. It is supposed to get royal assent today since the proposition was voted unanimously last week (or maybe the one before, I forget).

Well, the tag on the robe is what got me. I had my glasses off and was trying to figure out which side of my robe was which by holding it within a few inches of my face and turning it back and forth. The tag was about 3 inches long and made of stiff fabric, and then attached to the hanger loop on the collar, giving it a good 5 inches of range. I guess the air caught the tag, and as I turned the robe, it sliced me right in the loving eyeball, taking a chunk out of my cornea (which isn't saying much; doctor says a few layers of cells is all you need to tear off to cause permanent injury). Now I have chronic dry eye, a recurring corneal erosion, and I'm kinda night blind on my left side. It's not much of a handicap, except when I have to walk in low contrast/low light places with poor footing. Getting to the outhouse while camping can be a bit of a nightmare, especially if I've been sitting by a campfire, but that's like a once a year thing. The best part is that my doctor had two options for a permanent fix: have another doctor use a diamond-tipped needle to abrade the damaged surface of my cornea in an attempt to get the cells to regrow and stick to the underlying layers properly...or move somewhere with more ambient moisture and a lower elevation than the semi-arid mountains of Montana. Now I live in the PNW rainforest, and my eye is mostly fine. I did get as far as talking to the surgeon about the diamond needle eyeball fuckery, but he was such a dick that I never bothered to go back for a follow-up.
